...How does one tell if a toe is just painful when touched/walked on, swollen, bruised and generally weird-feeling; or if it's, you know, actually broken?
'Cause while I'm scared of doctors, don't believe in going to one for something minor, and am inclined to believe that practically any symptom I exhibit is either a hangover or a cold, I also don't want to be wrong and have it get infected/drop off.
If I had a camera, you would get gross pictures. :D The colours are awesome.
Mind you, I'm going home on Thurday. If it still hurts, I can get parental opinions. Meh.
Failing, you know, that, I had an awesome Monday. :D I went on an impromptu trip to London to see
innerbrat, and there was beer and curry and sleeping under cloaks, then crumpets, Avatar and David Attenborough. Awesome.
EDIT: Oh, and to reiterate my love for my Science and History tutor: How awesome is it to come in for an essay meeting and find him busily typing away on his new introduction for something on the Origin of Species? He's kind of three thousand words over the limit already. *Amused*

Is it deformed or just different in shape and size and temperature from the same toe on the other foot? Do you have a fever? (Check.) Can you stand on it?

Thanks!
